What:
IBM Tape Library Monitoring and Reporting
IBM Tape Libraries have a number of monitoring and reporting options. This Accelerate with ATS (AwA) session will help customers determine which monitoring and reporting tool is the best fit for their environment. Tape Systems Reporter (TSR), SNMP Audit Logging, and the Crossroads ReadVerify Appliance (RVA) will be reviewed and demonstrated.

This webinar will introduce the IBM FlashSystem™ 710, 720, 810 and 820, and show how these all-flash IBM solutions not only minimize response time but enable server and software consolidation. IBM FlashSystem Solutions will also be covered, showing the benefits of combining IBM FlashSystem with IBM's leading virtualization offering - SAN Volume Controller. A live demo showing the ease of use of IBM FlashSystem will also be included.

What: Understanding and Analyzing TS7700 PerformanceThis in-depth session will cover various performance related aspects of the TS7700 including:Deferred Copy Queue Host Write and Copy Throttling Uncompressed Host IO Performance Increments Physical Backend Drives TS7720 Cache ManagementThis advanced session assumes you are familiar with the TS7700. After this session you will have a greater understanding of the inner performance controls of the TS7700. You will be able to use this knowledge to make intelligent tuning adjustments. Please plan on attending this very informative 90 minute session.

In 4Q/2012 IBM added Microsoft Windows to the family of Operating Systems that support the IBM Linear Tape File System - Library Edition (LTFS LE).

This session will overview the capabilities of LTFS LE, and provide a live demo.LTFS provides direct, intuitive and graphical access to data stored in IBM tape drives and librariesusing LTO5/6 and IBM 3592 tape. It eliminates the need for additional tape management andsoftware to access data. LTFS sets a new standard for ease of use and portability for opensystems tape storage. With LTFS, accessing data stored on an IBM tape cartridge is as easy andintuitive as using a USB flash drive.

What: Accelerate with ATS: XIV Technical UpdateAbstract: The IBM XIV Storage System is a proven, high-end disk storage system designed to provide consistent Tier 1 performance and five-nines availability. XIV storage delivers low total cost of ownership (TCO) and drives efficiencies through simplification of storage for all types of applications including virtualized application server and cloud environments. It provides consistent high performance for even the most demanding workloads using massive parallelism to allocate system resources evenly at all times and to scale seamlessly without manual tuning. XIV's virtualized design and customer-acclaimed ease of management dramatically reduces administrative overhead.

This Accelerate with ATS webinar will discuss new XIV hardware enhancements that will deliver even greater XIV storage processing performance. We will also discuss new XIV hardware enhancements that feature enhanced levels of power efficiency. We will explain how the new XIV software also helps to deliver higher performance and expands on XIV's support for space reclamation technologies. And we will show the new XIV GUI enhancements featuring the recently announced XIV Multi-System Manager and Mobile Dashboard.

When: Tuesday February 26th 201312:00 P.M. - 1:30 P.M. EASTERN

Who: Open to anyone that preregisters at the following URL: https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/432590185

What: Accelerate with ATS: TPC Performance ManagementTPC 5.x has introduced a new Cognos interface into the TPC data model for storage performance metrics. The original GUI is still there and works the same as always, but the Cognos interface actually provides some important new capabilities. This webinar will cover the creation of simple tabular performance reports (csv formats), but including some new information columns and how to use them. Along the way, it will discuss recommendations for performance monitoring and management, capacity planning for performance, and how to use TPC performance reports to accomplish this.

What: Accelerate with ATS: Introducing the IBM Storwize V3700 - Entry Level Virtual Storage System This presentation will introduce the Storwize V3700 which is a new member to the IBM Virtual System Storage family designed to meet the Entry Level Disk needs for customers. We will discuss the new hardware models, the different enclosure offerings, and the functions and features provided with V3700 product.

We will review the virtualization techniques of the Storwize family which are implemented with the new V3700. Finally, we will provide a quick step by step look at the sequence of events needed to install and configure the V3700 from the initial setup
